Exactly correct. The BD has nothing to do with the PS3's size -- it's all about heat dissipation. If you cram powerful CPU/GPUs into a small case with insufficient airflow, you'll have serious heat problems.
As the PS3 becomes relatively weak (compared to current technology) and the manufacturing processes for the chips/memory continue to shrink, Sony will have an opportunity to make it smaller. But that time isn't just around the corner.
Not likely in 2008.
